When family picture time rolls round and you’re a quarter of the way through the 100 Day Dress Challenge, why you wear your Wool& dress of course. So I wrote my Clara dress for family photos.

It was kind of a relief.

Every year, I stress about what to wear for family photos and how to coordinate our outfits. But since I was doing a dress challenge (wearing the same dress for 100 days straight) and Margot was doing a 30-day version in her blue wool dress, it simplified everything.

Margot and I were wearing a dusky blue and aubergine. Which meant shades of charcoal, blue, and purple for Michael and Henry. Which meant I could raid their existing wardrobes. No over-planning and over-shopping for Rylee & Cru or Alice + Ames sales. Just get everyone smiling.

All the photos are by the amazing Leah Rivera.

Secondhand Love

My black boots, black Kork-Ease flats, Lotta From Stockholm clogs, black cardigan, and tan Hugo Boss wool skirt were all secondhand finds. (The Hugo Boss skirt was a major thrift score and it had a Rent the Runway barcode blacked out in it.)

Margot’s leggings were secondhand from Once Upon A Child.

Henry’s blue wool sweater was secondhand on Mercari.

Michael’s blue wool sweater was secondhand from Savers or Unique. 50:50 chance his trousers were too.
